Vessel Registration

This division acts as an agent for the State of Florida, registering
vessels and collecting registration fees for vessels which are both
motorized and "domiciled" in Florida. Vessels which are used for
transportation on navigable Florida waters must be registered and
renewed each year by midnight of the owner's birthday (or by June 30 for
companies). You will be issued a permanent Florida registration number
and a validation decal each year.

For a first-time vessel registration, you will need to present proof of
ownership and apply for a Florida title when applicable. Individuals can
present proof of application on a special form that the Division
provides. You will receive reminder notices in the mail each year at the
owner's last reported address. The cost of registration is based on the
length of the vessel.

You can renew your vessel registration in any of the following ways:

At the Broward County Records, Taxes, and Treasury Division's Auto
Tag Agency or authorized private agencies

Private Tag Agencies
These agencies are privately-owned businesses acting as agents for the
County. Additional fees apply. Offices are open Monday through Friday
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additional Saturday hours are listed after the
address.
